Strategic Disposition Framework for City-Owned Exempt Surplus Land
San Bernardino
Description
The city wants to dispose of surplus land — one commenter counted 484 infill lots — to spur market-rate and infill housing, but the council slowed it down to build in transparency standards first.
Impact summary
These vacant lots could become new infill housing — market-rate first, with the door open to affordable covenants if negotiations go that way.
